Update: It appears that I uploaded the wrong pattern to Mediafire and have now corrected the issue by giving the correct pattern (thank you Sara)

Here is the other 2 patterns i am uploading today (the large one is an absolute favourite of mine). Bother are 2 palettes and can be found in the abstract category. Downloads supplied as sim3pack files made with TSRW.

As part of the promotion for Grace in the 2013 SIFF Band Challenge, promotional material needs to be created to help support and create awareness for her on the big day when the community come out and choose a winner. As part of this I have created a Vogue cover to help get her out there, and I think it came out well.

Yes, I love my geometric patterns. I love them so much I have to make a bunch and thought I would share them with you. Here is an overlaid circle pattern with 2 colourable channels. Check after the jump for individual pictures.

Here is a small set of walls, found in the paint category. I Made these using the multiplier layer from an ambitions wall as a starting point, cleaning it up and making it base game. You may notice that there are similar walls that came with the base game, but I found the shadowing too harsh so I never used them, even though the design was really nice. Once I figured out how to create custom walls, I set about making these. They have been constantly tweaked and I am finally happy with them. The classic wall has 2 channels, while the chair rail and picture rail walls have 3. They all cost $4 each, so its not just classic, but cheap too. Available in package and sim3pack formats. For more pictures, check after the jump.

I have to say this, I hate EA tile patterns. Most are hideous and are really hard to work with due to the way the colourable channels are set up. I had these contemporary colonial houses and i needed a tile for them. I ended up using a brick pattern and it was ok. But then i decided to make these, and will be getting a lot of use out of them. They are found in the tile section (don't want to confuse you all), have 2 colourable channels and come in 3 sizes with 2 variations each. So that is 6 patterns to give you plenty of choice. For individual pictures for all the styles, check after the jump.

Although I have only just started posting my comic here on my blog, JMAL has been on hiatus for two months. This was partly due to my university commitments and a lack of inspiration. However I have been inspired to come back to it and will have a few new comics to post over the coming weeks. I have added all the old comics here for your viewing pleasure (21 of them so you know how many you need to read), and will be adding new comics every Wednesday and Saturday at 12pm ( I am in the GMT +8 timezone, so for Europe this is early in the morning when no one should be up (that's too damn early!) and for the US this will be Tuesday and Friday night). But as I have stated, this is part-time but I will try to keep you all updated on Chase's and Valen's exploits. There is a few twists coming up so stay tuned.

Well I kind of have a backlog of patterns i have been meaning to share, not really sets but just patterns I have wanted in game so I made them, some more difficult then others to make. These include 3 abstract and 1 weave and wicker pattern. I have decided to put them in separate posts just to make it easier and satisfy my OCD. This is one of the more difficult patterns i have made, grasscloth.

Custom wall set? CC? Yes I have been experimenting with custom walls for my game (so many issues but lucky i found a really good tutorial here) and have decided to share them with you all. The set is made up of 4 walls (see pictures) and are all found in the paneling category. I am only putting up mediafire links right now, but if alternate links are needed, leave a comment and i will try and hunt down my 4shared password or put them on Dropbox.

Introducing Grace De Luca, my entry into SIFF's bi-annual Band Challenge. Head here to check it out.

Solo Performer

Biography: Grace De Luca, born in Southampton, New York
first discovered her talent for singing in her school choir and the tender age
of 10. Convincing her parents to embrace her passion for singing, they enlisted
voice coaches when she reached 16 to hone her voice to become the powerhouse
she is today. At 18 she ventured out into the world to start perusing her goal
of becoming a world recognised singer. Finding her comfort zone is clubs and
fusion lounges, she became enamoured with the club singers of yesteryear and
the glamour the exuded. Finding her niche she started getting regular contracts
from hip and well known clubs around the country. Breaking into the big time
has proven harder then she imagined, but not willing to let her career stagnate
she has entered SIFF 2013 to help her expose herself to a wider audience. She
is not consumed by winning but here for the experience, but she will give it
her best. With the help of her childhood friends, Valen and Chase Michaels
acting as her business and PR representatives, she is stepping out of her
comfort zone to push herself into the next phase of her life. So expect great
things from this club veteran, as being a novice in matters of self promotion
and producing music videos will not hold her back. Her determination, along
with her passion will help her reach out and grab the shining star she has
yearned after for so long, you can guarantee she will put on the performance of
her life.

Well Chase moved in to his new house, which just like all the Michaels boys and girls, he really hates the prefab builds (EA are you trying to make my eyes bleed?). It was starting off oh so well but moving back to SV to spread his wings may not have been the best idea...............

Maybe he shouldn't have watched that old scifi movie earlier? and I wonder if he knew I usually catch the aliens and delete them before they cause any trouble? Oh well, hopefully this wont have any repercussions............

This will (hopefully) be an ongoing saga for my simself in Sunset Valley. As some of you know, my sims tend to be rather boring, spending most of their time at Laundromats or staring at light bulbs They lead a normal life and are not subjected to the weirdness that is the sims universe. However the tide is changing, and Chase seems to be caught in the middle of it..........I have done 14 strips so far, but due to a lack of time and study, this has been put of the back burner for the time being, but i thought I would share them on my blog, which a friend of mine is encouraging me to use more. So here is the introductory post, with the existing comics coming, and hopefully some in the future.

I will stress though that these events are not always random, but his luck (or is he unlucky?) when it came to in-game events gave me inspiration to create these, so I hope you enjoy. I find stories much more manageable in small bursts then long winded essays (which is not to say I don't enjoy very well written ones) so I hope you enjoy these little titbits as much as I enjoy reading them too.

Hi! I am Peacemaker IC and I am a creator of sims custom content (currently TS4). I create everything from houses to clothing, patterns and poses. This is my passion and I love sharing what I create for myself.
